As some of my listeners may know, I like to mix things up every now and again. Well I've had the urge to write some super heavy orchestral metal type stuff for a while now and finally got around to working on it! When writing the music and lyrics for this song, the theme I was going for was the idea of a man being lured to Dracula's castle and witnessing the horrors within - the castle being the "Lair of the Damned" per the song title. Hope you guys enjoy!

Special thanks to Metaljonus for contributing his sweet lead shredding skills once again over this song, including the epic divebombs towards the end!

LYRICS:

The doorway revealed

A lost realm beckons

Stepping through will seal your fate

Welcome to the lair of the damned

Encased in ice

A frigid wasteland covered by the

Black of night,

But through the clouded distance lies

A place of doom,

Yet he continues walking towards his tomb,

Violence teeming

Wretched screaming

Come my children

Start your feeding

Teeth to skin

Sinking in

Draining the sweet nectar within

Let the rivers run red

and overflow my cup

Let the rivers run red

Your time is up

You will know suffering

Embrace the pain unto your flesh

You will know suffering

Submit your will to the undead

Fear takes hold, as terror fills the night and chills him

to the bone, no one to call his savior,

No he’s all alone,

The truth sets in that his fate is sewn

Let the rivers run red

Let the rivers run red

Welcome to the lair of the damned
